Well, I havent tried this, but I found a different option, which may or may not be just as good. I borrowed a digital audio cable, the one that isnt fiber but right near it on the receiver, and plugged that it, and that worked just fine. I guess now the question is, are they the same thing...

So, I just upgraded my receiver and I am trying to connect my cable box to the receiver via optical out. Unfortunately, its not sending any sound through to the receiver. The red light comes on, so I know its not the wire. I've tried the DVD player in the same jack on the receiver, so I know its...

well, i could have up to 3. i have an HD cable box, an upconverting DVD player, and I'm planning on buying a PS3. as for now, i could just leave it as the dvd player connected to hte TV via hdmi, and the cable/ps2 connected through the receiver. there is only one HDMI input to the TV. I've...

my parents bought for me the Onkyo TX-SR 703. my one main concern is that it doesnt have any HDMI inputs or switching capabilities. I have been looking at the TX-SR 674, which does have a couple of HDMI ports. Does HDMI justify the hassle of sending back the 703 and getting the 674? Or should...

Anything specific on those websites I should be looking for? For example, on the ascend website, the center has two inputs, one for mid and one for tweeter. since my receiver only has one output for the center, does that mean they arent compatible? also, that AV123 website doesnt seem to have...

Hey all. I'm in the process [like everyone else, it seems :)] of setting up a new system, cause my old one started having issues. ive got a Onkyo SR-674 and a Oppo upconverting DVD player, so im all set on those, but ive got to figure out speakers. since at the moment i live in a fraternity...

Also, with regards to the DVD player, is there a better upconverting DVD than this? it seems to get pretty decent regards, but I have never heard the name before.

Cool. In that case... how about speakers. Is there a website which explains what you should look for in speakers, in terms of power, response? I havent really even started looking at speakers, I figured that the important thing would be to replace the stuff thats broken, so now that I've got...

Yeah, I wasnt so much concerned about the size of the receiver itself as the amount of power it drew. I tend to have a lot of stuff plugged in, and I figured that a receiver would be one of the more power-hungry pieces. As far as quality is concerned, is there anything wrong with the Onkyo...

Hi all. First post on the forums, trying to get my bearings. Ive got a 30" Sony HDTV [the model number escapes me] and a HTIB which is dieing on me. Thus, I'm starting to gather components to build a new system rather than just buying antoher HTIB. So here's the deal. Ive got about $1500 to...
